Dare 18: The Soundtrack of Your Youth: Find Any Hidden Messages?
Thu Feb 05 2026
Thursday Dare Day: The Song That Knew You Before You DidIt’s Thursday, which means one thing around here: Dare Day.
This week’s dare is a simple one. No life overhaul. No journaling marathon. Just a few minutes, a song, and a moment of honest reflection.
In this short episode, Michelle shares a story sparked by an unexpected song on a studio car park playlist — a track she hadn’t heard in years, but somehow knew word for word. What caught her off guard wasn’t the nostalgia… it was how relevant the lyrics still were decades later.
That moment opens up a bigger question:
Did the things we loved when we were younger know something about us before we did?
In this episode, you’ll hear:A personal story from Michelle’s teenage years and early grafting daysWhy certain songs hit differently as we get olderHow lyrics we once screamed for fun can quietly reflect the life warnings we ignoredMichelle’s own lyric deep-dive into Warning by Incubus — and why it lands harder now than it ever didA no-pressure dare designed purely for enjoyment, curiosity, and maybe a little clarityThis week’s dare:Pick a song you used to love.
The one you knew every lyric to.
Listen to it. Sing it loudly if you want.
Then ask yourself one question:
Do the lyrics still resonate — or are they just fun noise?
Either answer is valid.
Two to three minutes of joy still counts as a win.
If the lyrics hit you in the chest a bit? Michelle wants to hear about it.
Head over to Instagram and drop her a message with the song and the line that stuck.
